INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

NFE transactions closed, strong shipping rates despite seasonality, and gas prices supportive of upstream activities

The first quarter and subsequent months have been positive and eventful for Golar. With the

announcement of the sale of Golar LNG Partners LP (“GMLP”) and Hygo Energy Transition Ltd.

(“Hygo”) to New Fortress Energy (“NFE”) on January 13, and closing of the transactions on April 15,

Golar has made significant progress simplifying its business, crystalizing the value of its asset portfolio,

and strengthening its balance sheet.

We are encouraged by the strength of shipping rates during what is normally a seasonally weak period,

with TFDE1 spot rates currently around $70,000 per day. The negative impact of potential EEXI

regulations on the viability of up to 254 steam turbine carriers relative to a global on-the-water fleet of

597 vessels and a 130 vessel orderbook means that Golar’s longer term view of the shipping business

has also materially improved. The few shipyards capable of building LNG carriers are filling with

container newbuild orders and we do not see potential for significant new LNG carrier orders before

2024. Over the same timeframe LNG trade is expected to continue to grow by a 4% CAGR. This should

allow for improved earnings from our carrier portfolio and create a supportive backdrop for this as a

stand-alone business.

Current and forward energy prices are also strengthening, increasing the attractiveness of LNG upstream

investments and our FLNG technology. We continue to pursue FLNG growth projects including both

tolling arrangements and opportunities to develop hydrocarbon exposure through ownership of gas

molecules suitable for production by our FLNG technology.

Finally, we are pleased to have appointed Mr. Karl Fredrik Staubo as CEO and Mr. Eduardo Maranhao

as CFO. With their GMLP and Hygo backgrounds both have been intimately involved with the business

for some time and will be familiar faces to Golar stakeholders, allowing for a seamless transition.

March 31, 2021. A further $65 million drawn in early April.

• Agreed a one-off debt payment of $60 million spread evenly across four LNG carriers and an

accelerated lease profile resulting in cashflow net savings of $42 million and a total reduction to

Golar's remaining debt principal of $102 million.

• Published comprehensive ESG report including audited emissions data and ambitious performance

targets.

Shipping:

• Q1 2021 average daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”)1 earnings of $61,700 for the fleet, in line

with both expectations and the TCE1 achieved for Q1 2020.

• The TFDE1 TCE1 for the quarter was $65,100.

• Utilization at 97%, up on the 77% achieved in Q4 2020 and the 94% realized in Q1 2020.

• Revenue backlog1 of $187 million as at March 31, 2021.

FLNG:

• FLNG Hilli Episeyo (“Hilli”) currently offloading 56th cargo, with 100% commercial uptime

liquefaction by the Hilli, enable production above the current contract capacity, and advanced

discussions on additional production by Hilli anticipated to start-up in Q1 2022.

• FLNG Gimi conversion project 69% technically complete - on track and on budget. Nine million

man-hours have now been worked, with around 2,400-yard workers currently allocated to the

conversion on a daily basis. The vessels fifth and final drydock that has seen all remaining sponson

blocks attached to the vessel is on schedule to complete at the end of Q2.

• Progressing engineering work on a smaller, cheaper, and faster delivering Mark II FLNG design, in

addition to our larger Mark III newbuild solution and assisting NFE with their FAST LNG jack-up

designs.

• Renewed focus on growth prospects with an emphasis on potential gas acquisitions for integrated

FLNG projects.

Outlook

LNG Shipping:

Based on fixtures to date and inclusive of an upward adjustment for loss of hire revenue expected in

respect of an ongoing claim for one of the vessels, Golar currently expects a Q2 TFDE1 TCE1 of around

$50,500 per day. The market outlook for shipping is improving on firming underlying LNG demand and

higher prices. Ton miles are increasing, the likelihood of any summer 2021 cargo cancellations has been

reduced, charterers seeking spot tonnage are facing competition from those looking for term charters, all

of which are improving the rate outlook. Tighter emissions regulations expected from 2023 may also

require slower steaming for a substantial portion of the existing fleet. The market strength can be

illustrated by our recent fixture of a 1-year time charter at a level of return not seen in the LNG market

since 2010/2011.

FLNG:

Golar will pursue opportunities to use its FLNG technology and unrivalled operational experience to

increase its upstream exposure. Focus will be on investments into stranded gas assets or partnering with

companies that have associated gas that can be liquefied using existing FLNG assets or a quick

delivering, smaller and lower cost alternative. The target will be to enter into LNG off-take agreements

sufficient to support financing requirements and retain remaining production for merchant sales. We will

continue to pursue pure tolling projects with oil majors where the return is attractive. Our FLNG

solutions out-compete almost all onshore facilities in terms of cost per ton, schedule, and carbon

footprint.

On Hilli, dialogue with Perenco and SNH to increase throughput continues. Although drilling has not

yet commenced, current plans to bring on incremental production from Q1 2022 remain likely. Golar

has an economic interest in around 87% of any incremental earnings from increased throughput of train

3. In addition to the train 3 discussions, Hilli is expected to generate Brent Oil linked cash flows, in

which Golar has an 89% economic interest, from Q2 2021. The contractual Brent Oil linked component

of Hilli's currently contracted production generates incremental cashflows equivalent to approximately

$3.0 million per annum for every dollar the Brent Oil price is above $60/barrel, up to an agreed but

undisclosed ceiling.

Our FLNG segment has a contract earnings backlog1 of $3.4 billion (Golar's share), an unparalleled

operational record and attractive growth prospects. In order to capture hidden value in this segment and

to potentially accelerate FLNG growth projects we will consider partnerships at either a project, asset or

business level.

Corporate:

Closing the sales of Hygo and GMLP to NFE represent significant steps toward simplifying the group

structure, crystallizing value, and strengthening the balance sheet. With $149.9 million of unrestricted

cash on hand as at March 31, 2021 and $130.8 million of cash proceeds subsequently received from the

sales of Hygo and GMLP on April 15, Golar's balance sheet has been materially strengthened. Golar is

now well positioned to meet its existing capital expenditure commitments and to fund attractive

investment propositions, including continuation of its share buyback program.

The 18.6 million NFE shares valued at $780 million based on the closing price on May 19 create

additional optionality. We see significant potential for the NFE business case driven by their strong

growth, track record, and the solid platform NFE has built and acquired through the Hygo and GMLP

acquisitions. Subject to the relative share prices of NFE and Golar, near-term growth initiatives, and the

absolute share price of Golar, we intend to use the NFE shares for a combination of:

i. Debt optimization, including refinancing of the convertible bond;

ii. Fund growth projects;

iii. Return to Golar shareholders either by way of direct distribution or by way of a tendered

exchange for Golar shares.

In terms of financial reporting, a gain on disposal1 of our equity investments in GMLP and Hygo will be

recognized on April 15, 2021. The estimated book profit on the disposals is expected to be in excess of

$650 million as of this date. Earnings from these two affiliates, previously impacted by BRL/USD FX

changes, will cease to be recognized in the statement of operations from April 15, and our investments

in them, classified as ‘held for sale’ on March 31, 2021, will be removed from the balance sheet.

Thereafter, while NFE shares continue to be held and dividends declared, dividend income will be

recorded in the statement of operations, as will mark-to-market changes in the value of the NFE shares

held.

income from the Hilli Liquefaction Tolling Agreement is split into, "Realized gains on oil derivative instrument" and "Unrealized gain/(loss) on oil derivative

instrument". The unrealized component represents a mark-to-market gain of $10.6 million (December 31, 2020: $5.7 million loss and March 31, 2020: $27.8

million loss) on the oil embedded derivative, which represents the estimate of expected receipts under the remainder of the Brent oil linked clause of the

represents the income in relation to the Hilli Liquefaction Tolling Agreement receivable in cash.

Golar reports today Q1 Adjusted EBITDA of $77.6 million compared to $78.0 million in Q4.

Total operating revenues increased from $118.7 million in Q4 to $125.8 million in Q1, partially mitigated

by an increase in voyage, charter hire and commission expenses, from $5.8 million in Q4 to $7.5 million

in Q1. Of the $7.1 million increase in total operating revenues, $12.1 million was attributable to an

improved shipping performance. Partially offsetting this is reduced revenue from FLNG. Revenue from

Hilli reverted to normalized levels in Q1 following the billing of 2019-2020 overproduction in Q4.

Revenue from shipping, net of voyage, charterhire and commission expenses was $55.5 million and

increased by $10.6 million from $44.9 million in Q4. The quarter began with quoted TFDE1 carrier

headline spot rates at around $160,000 per day and ended with rates at around $33,000 per day, in line

with seasonal patterns. Full fleet TCE1 earnings increased from $48,800 in Q4 2020 to $61,700 in Q1

2021, in line with both prior guidance and Q1 2020.

Operating revenues from the Hilli, including base tolling fees and amortization of pre-acceptance

amounts recognized, decreased from $62.5 million in Q4 to $54.4 million in Q1 as expected given the

billing of 2019 and 2020 overproduction of $8.0 million in Q4. Any potential overproduction for 2021

will be billed in January 2022 and recognized in Q4, 2021.

A full quarter's costs in respect of the FSRU LNG Croatia, for which Golar receives management fee

compensation, together with unscheduled repairs of the FSRU Golar Tundra contributed to a $4.5

million increase in vessel operating expenses from $26.2 million in Q4 to $30.7 million in Q1.

Administrative and project development expenses decreased $0.2 million and $1.2 million to $8.4

million and $1.6 million respectively.

The mark-to-market fair value of the Hilli Brent oil link derivative asset increased by $10.6 million

during the quarter, with a corresponding unrealized gain of the same amount recognized in the income

statement. The fair value increase was driven by an upward movement in the expected future market

price for Brent Oil. The spot price for Brent Oil increased from $51.80 per barrel on December 31, 2020

to $63.54 on March 31, 2021.

In Q1 the group generated $25.4 million of net income, compared to Q4 net income of $8.1 million. Key

items contributing to this are:

• A $23.4 million Q1 gain on derivative instruments compared to a $2.1 million gain in Q4, mainly

due to an increase in LIBOR rates and the impact this has on the Company's fixed interest rate

swaps.

• The $6.2 million of equity in net losses of affiliates from discontinued operations primarily

comprises the following:

• $12.8 million net loss in respect of Golar's 50% share in Hygo; and

• $6.6 million net income in respect of Golar's 32% share in GMLP.

Net losses attributable to non-controlling interests relate to the Hilli, the Gimi and the finance lease lessor

VIEs.

Financing and Liquidity:

Our cash position as at March 31, 2021 was $298.9 million. This was made up of $149.9 million of

unrestricted cash and $149.0 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash includes $54.1 million relating

to lessor-owned VIEs and $75.9 million relating to the Hilli Letter of Credit, of which $15.2 million has

been classified as short-term and is expected to be released to free cash in June.

After closing the sale of Hygo to NFE in April, our interest in NFE, valued at $780 million as of market

close on May 19, replaces our interest in Hygo as security for the $100 million revolving credit facility.

Golar has agreed to make certain amendments to its sale and leaseback arrangements for four of its LNG

carriers, the Golar Ice, Golar Kelvin, Golar Glacier and Golar Snow. These amendments include a

1. Refer to section "Non-GAAP measures" for definition and reconciliation to the most comparable US GAAP measure.

prepayment of $60.0 million in July 2021, evenly split, across the four sale and leaseback facilities,

increased daily debt service and a resulting accelerated lease profile on the Golar Ice and Golar Kelvin,

and an obligation to repurchase the Golar Glacier and Golar Snow in April 2023. As a result of these

changes we have agreed with the lease counterpart a net saving to Golar of a total of $42 million in

combination of reduced remaining debt principal and remaining charter hire due under the remaining

sale leaseback period.

Notable cash movements expected in Q2 2021 are summarized as follows:

(in millions of $)

Opening unrestricted cash balance 149.9

Cash merger consideration - Hygo transaction 50.0

Cash merger consideration - Golar Partners transaction 80.8

Golar's share of expected Gimi CAPEX net of drawdowns (61.0)

Repurchase of 1.2 million shares under the share buyback program (13.7)

Release of Hilli LC 15.2

Total 221.2

Inclusive of $10.5 million of capitalized interest, $44.6 million was invested in FLNG Gimi during the

quarter, taking the total Gimi asset under development balance as at March 31, 2021 to $702.8 million.

Of this, $345.0 million had been drawn against the $700 million debt facility. Both the investment and

debt drawn to date are reported on a 100% basis. Based on cash spent as at March 31, 2021, Golar's

expected share of contributions to remaining conversion costs up to the point that commissioning hire

becomes receivable in 2023 is approximately $164 million.

Included within the $1,354.9 million current portion of long-term debt and short-term debt as at March

31, is the December 2021 maturing $100.0 million credit facility, $387.7 million in respect of the

February 2022 maturing convertible bond, and $851.9 million relating to lessor-owned VIE subsidiaries

that Golar is required to consolidate in connection with nine sale and leaseback financed vessels,

including the Hilli.

Corporate and Other Matters:

As at March 31, 2021, there were 110.1 million shares outstanding. There were also 1.7 million

outstanding stock options with an average price of $23.33 and 0.7 million unvested restricted stock units

awarded. Subsequent to the quarter end, 1.2 million shares were repurchased at a cost of $13.7 million.

Of the initial $50 million approved share buyback scheme, $36.3 million remains available for further

repurchases, which are considered attractive at current price levels.

On April 12, 2021 Iain Ross resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer. Karl Fredrik Staubo

has been appointed to replace Iain and assumed his role as CEO on May 13, 2021. Eduardo Maranhao,

formerly CFO of Hygo, has been appointed to replace Karl as CFO.

Golar has also published its ESG report. Containing industry leading levels of disclosure, this report

includes audited emissions data and long-term measurable reporting targets that will further aid Golar in

intensive fossil fuels.

Non-GAAP measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles (US GAAP), this earnings release and the associated investor presentation contains references

to the non-GAAP financial measures which are included in the table below. We believe these non-GAAP

financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial

performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items

may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key

metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial

measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with

GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not uniformly defined by all companies, and may not be comparable

with similarly titled measures and disclosures used by other companies. The reconciliations from these

results should be carefully evaluated.

Segment Information

In our 2020 Annual Report, we changed the way in which we report and measure our reportable segments. The main driver

of the change is the alignment of presentation and contents of financial information provided to our chief operating decision

maker (our Board of Directors), required to allocate resources, evaluate and manage both our standalone operating segments

and our overall business performance. The key impacts are our segments' profit measure is based on Adjusted EBITDA and

across our four reportable segments; Shipping, FLNG, Power and Corporate and others. Refer to note 6 to our consolidated

financial statements filed with our 2020 Annual Report, for additional details.

In January 2021, following the board of directors' approvals of the GMLP and Hygo mergers with NFE, we determined that

our share of the net earnings/(losses) in Golar Partners and Hygo and the respective carrying values of our investments have

to be presented as profit/(loss) from discontinued operations and assets held for sale, respectively. Consequently, for the three

months ended March 31, 2021, we ceased to consider Power as a reportable segment. Management has therefore concluded

that we provide and operate three distinct reportable segments as follows:

• Shipping – This segment is based on the business activities of the transportation of LNG carriers. We operate and

subsequently charter out LNG carriers on fixed terms to customers.

• FLNG – This segment is based on the business activities of FLNG vessels or projects. We convert LNG carriers into

FLNG vessels and subsequently charter them out to customers. We currently have one operational FLNG, the Hilli,

one undergoing conversion into a FLNG, the Gimi and one LNG carrier earmarked for conversion, the Gandria.

• Corporate and other – This segment is based on the business activities of vessel management and administrative

services and our corporate overhead costs.

Non-US GAAP Measures Used in Forecasting

Revenue Backlog: Revenue backlog is defined as the minimum contracted daily charter rate for each vessel

multiplied by the number of scheduled hire days for the remaining contract term. Revenue backlog is not intended

to represent EBITDA or future cashflows that will be generated from these contracts. This measure should be seen

as a supplement and not a substitute for our US GAAP measures of performance.

Earnings Backlog: Earnings backlog represents the share of contracted fee income for executed contracts less

forecasted operating expenses for these contracts. In calculating forecasted operating expenditure, management

has assumed that where there is an Operating Services Agreement the amount receivable under the services

agreement will cover the associated operating costs, therefore revenue from operating services agreements are

excluded. For contracts, which do not have a separate Operating Services Agreement management has made an

assumption about operating costs based on the current run rate. The only material application of this methodology

was to the Hilli Earnings backlog where we assumed operating costs of approximately $144kpd.

Illustrative gain on disposals: Illustrative gains on disposals represents the accounting gain on the sale of the

Partnership and Hygo to NFE. In calculating the illustrative gain on disposals, management had used NFE share

price as of April 15, 2021 less the estimated carrying value of our investment in affiliates as of April 15, 2021 for

the Partnership and Hygo. The carrying value of our equity investments is subject to change based on the

underlying performance of these entities from January 1, 2021 to April 15, 2021.

• the length and severity of outbreaks of pandemics, including the recent worldwide outbreak of the

novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its impact on demand for liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and

natural gas, the timing of completion of our conversion projects, the operations of our charterers, our

global operations and our business in general;

• failure of our contract counterparties to comply with their agreements with us or other key project

stakeholders;

• changes in LNG carrier, FSRU, or FLNG including charter rates, vessel values or technological

advancements;

• our vessel values and any future impairment charges we may incur;

• our ability to close potential future sales of additional equity interests in our vessels, including the

Hilli (“Hilli”) and FLNG Gimi on a timely basis or at all;

• our ability to contract the full utilization of the Hilli or other vessels;

• changes in the supply of or demand for LNG carriers, FSRUs or FLNGs;

• a material decline or prolonged weakness in rates for LNG carriers, FSRUs or FLNGs;

• changes in the performance of the pool in which certain of our vessels operate;

• changes in trading patterns that affect the opportunities for the profitable operation of LNG carriers,

FSRUs or FLNGs;

• changes in the supply of or demand for LNG or LNG carried by sea;

• continuing volatility of commodity prices;

• changes in the supply of or demand for natural gas generally or in particular regions;

• changes in our relationships with our counterparties, including our major chartering parties;

• changes in our relationship with our affiliates and the sustainability of any distributions they pay to

us;

• changes in general domestic and international political conditions, particularly where we operate;

• changes in the availability of vessels to purchase and in the time it takes to construct new vessels;

• failure of shipyards to comply with delivery schedules or performance specifications on a timely

basis or at all;

• changes to rules and regulations applicable to LNG carriers, FSRUs, FLNGs or other parts of the

LNG supply chain;

• our inability to achieve successful utilization of our fleet or inability to expand beyond the carriage

of LNG and provision of FSRU and FLNGs, particularly through our innovative FLNG strategy;

• actions taken by regulatory authorities that may prohibit the access of LNG carriers, FSRUs and

FLNGs to various ports;

• increases in costs, including, among other things, wages, insurance, provisions, repairs and

maintenance; and

• other factors listed from time to time in registration statements, reports or other materials that we

have filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission,

including our most recent annual report on Form 20-F.

As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ

materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company

(1) The Tundra and Seal facility's put option requires us to find a replacement charter for the Golar Tundra and the Golar Seal by June 2021 and January

2022, respectively or we could be required to refinance the vessels.

Included within the restricted cash and short-term deposits and debt balances are amounts relating to lessor VIE entities that

we are required to consolidate under US GAAP into our financial statements as variable interest entities. The following table

represents the impact of consolidating these lessor VIEs into our balance sheet, with respect to these line items:

(in thousands of $) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Restricted cash and short-term deposits 54,053 36,875

Current portion of long-term debt and short-term debt (851,876) (865,982) Long-term debt (614,288) (625,119) Total debt, net of deferred finance charges (1,466,164) (1,491,101)

The consolidated results and net assets of the consolidated lessor VIE entities are based on management's best estimates.

As discussed above, we are required to consolidate amounts relating to lessor VIE entities into our financial statements. As

such, the table above represents the lessor VIE entities' balances and not the actual costs and balances to us.
